How to create a XLSM file in flow?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 98

Hi Folks! 😊

I need to create and email an .XLSM file using Flow and PowerApps.
The data for building the file comes from a call from powerApps, so in the automate I take this data and build a file to send by email and this file needs to be in XLSM.

Has anyone there done something like that?

I will post some images for you to understand what my flow does, it is very simple.



This is my flow:

1) In step one, I receive the data that comes from the power apps and create a file in a document folder in SharePoint.

 2) In step two, I take this generated file that is in Sharepoint and add it as an attachment in my email and forward it.

When I change only the file extension to .XLS or .CSV, it works, but if I put .XLSM it doesn't work. So, how to generate this file in XLSM?

Thank you!

    @carudev I think xlsm file is not yet supported yet. I found a similar thread here.
